I can't recall.....what's a solid "La Nina" generally do for the winter months here in the coastal Mid-Atl?

I'm not sure what they're predicting at this point but if I recall from years past, here in the Mid-Atlantic, we'd do better with a weak La Nina. I believe that was what the winter of 1995-96 was when we got around 60" of snow. If it's strong, it would probably be as bad as what we looked at this winter. Sometimes I think I'd love to just be at Neutral every winter and take our chances. Hope this finds you well, buddy.

Typically front-loaded winter. Typically evolves into a strong SE ridge, favoring the storm track west of the OV.

A lot of winters following a Presidential election seem to be front-loaded in upstate NY: 1968-69 (big snow on 11/12/68 and very little the rest of the way) 1972-73 Lots of snow from Oct. 18-Dec. 18 but very little afterward1976-77 Very cold October-January; moderating from Feb on1980-81 Big mid-November snow; frigid Dec/Jan; milder from Feb on2000-01 November-December very cold; milder Jan-Feb (before a return to cold and snow in Mar)2008-09 Most of our snow fell by January 28--very little after that date; March our least snowy ever (replacing 1969)

2. EVERY FOLLOWING WINTER WITHOUT EXCEPTION HAD LA NINA CONDITIONS**That's pretty remarkable! If we do not transition to La Nina it would be the first time on record that a super El Nino wasn't followed by La Nina conditions.
